highRVP
highRVP refers to a measurement of high pulmonary artery systolic pressure. This condition is diagnosed using echocardiography, a non-invasive ultrasound of the heart. Elevated pulmonary artery pressure can indicate various underlying health issues, most commonly pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a serious condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs and the right side of the heart.
The diagnosis of highRVP is typically made when the estimated systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery exceeds
Several factors can contribute to the development of highRVP. These include left heart disease, lung diseases
